The mobile breast screening van will be in the Dartmouth Park & Ride car park from the 28th September 2026. Eligible patients will receive an appointment from the Breast Screening Unit.
As a practice we really support breast screening. With 1 in 8 women being diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, it’s important to detect cancer as early as possible to have the best chance of successful treatment.
Did you know most women with breast cancer do not have a family history of the disease? It’s really important to get checked. All women registered with our practice and aged 50-70 years will be invited for screening every 3 years. Make sure you attend your appointment, which you will receive in the post. Screening saves lives. You can find a handy guide about what happens at breast screening here: https://www.nhs.uk/…/breast-cancer-screening/what-happens/
We know that attending breast screening is really important and most women will attend when they receive their appointment letter. If you’ve been putting it off, or want some more information visit NHS breast screening: helping you decide – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
